The university management is organising a research prize for scientists to support exceptional research projects outside the mainstream. In addition to research projects with visionary ideas, daring hypotheses, creative and unconventional technologies, special attention will be paid to the aspect of interdisciplinarity. The prize money of 150,000 euros is available for a period of one and a half years and can be used flexibly for the project. Applications will be accepted until Monday, 22 May.
The following formal requirements must be met and also apply to co-applicants:
- Completed doctorate or higher academic qualification (ability to conduct independent research).
- Applicants must be demonstrably in a contractual employment relationship with the university.
- Active involvement in research and teaching is required.
- Applications from female academics are particularly welcome, as women have been underrepresented in recent years.
